…book on energy transition challenges and historical resource substitution
“I put that alongside a book called More, More, and More by Jean-Baptiste François. I think I'm saying his last name correctly, a French academic and scholar, which explains why it is so hard to have an energy transition. If you go back over time, we have added clean energy at an unprecedented rate, and it's met most of the growth in global energy demand. But oil use, gas use, coal use, they are all still going up as well. And he nicely walks through history and shows things like, we have this narrative, we think, that the Industrial Revolution meant coal replaced the use of wood, because we stopped using wood as a fuel.”
